Re:cement to reinforce sleeves??
Hey Jeff is this something you would do? Bad for daily driving? This looks like a good idea snice i am getting head work i might do this, any feed back would be apprecited(didn't mean to hijack the topic).

Yeah, cement your daily driver. And instead of a head gasket you can just use some insta-foam. If it'll seal my basement door surely it will work on your motor.
The constant vibration and expansion/contraction of the motor will probably detereorate that crete pritty quick.

Good for racing, bad for daily. I highly doubt that enough coolant will pass through those little holes for daily driving. Besides, sleeving the block is the way to go for daily activity, coolant flow remains stock.
Seems like a good idea for racing though, would make the block SOLID.

block guard may be bad for some people, but would be safer, and do a better job than that ghetto looking cemented block in the picture? correct me if I'm wrong but metal is stronger than concrete.

Blockguards have always puzzled me. side/side loading it NOT at the top of the stroke. Even still: I understand the concept, but besides ------- up bore alignment most of the time.. they seem ghey.
For someone who can't afford a $2400+ solid dart block, 'concreteing' seems like a viable option... for a RACE engine.
